Metro would be fine if they didn't force you to use it. Then it would just be W7 with a couple more features.
I understand that they want to make it seamless with tablets and stuff, but I can't understand their choice to force you to use it.

They'll be work arounds.
Also, please don't be like my friend that thinks there's going to be a Linux push due to W8. Because that's just plain dumb.

A Linux push is really unlikely.

Unless Valve announce the release of the Linux port of Steam at around the same time (which is a possibility, though given Valve's tendency to take their sweet time doing stuff, maybe not a huge one). Then it's only rather unlikely.

The valve thing is what made my friend think others will do it.
The issue, is that getting the masses to use Linux is going to be difficult, to say the least.

Oh God, I don't believe that at all.
I'm thinking the majority of people are just going to stick with W7, like when "Shitsta" came out and everyone just stuck with XP.
